Overview

This volume presents the proceedings of a colloquium held at the XIVth UISPP Congress. It constitutes the most extensive collection of data yet published on the topic of 3D imaging in paleoarcheology. In addition to results documenting the value of 3D imaging in a wide range of applications, researchers and students will find a raft of useful information including references, methodologies and analysis techniques. The studies presented at this colloquium show that 3D imaging techniques do not compete with or detract from other methods. As their availability and power grows, computerized systems based on technologies with capabilities far beyond those of the human eye (e.g. industrial scanners and high-resolution laser) will become indispensable tools alongside classic anatomical and morphological analysis. This technology should not be considered as an emerging science in itself but rather as a powerful new multidisciplinary tool to assist paleoanthropological and archeological studies.
